Fear should not be used to gain respect as it only leads to short-term superficial respect and can damage teams. True respect comes from how one carries themselves through their knowledge, attitude, behavior and treatment of others. Ten rules are provided for gaining respect, which include greeting others with a smile, being a proactive listener, dressing appropriately, avoiding controversial topics, and not speaking ill of others.
